New Images from TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON and THE THREE MUSKETEERS

by Phil Brown   Posted: April 27th, 2011

transformers-3-three-musketeers-movie-images-slice
Fans of big dopey 3D action movies can prepare to get giddy, because new images have been released for Transformers: Dark Of The Moon and The Three Musketeers, offering up tantalizing stills of their drug of choice. The films of course come from two of Hollywood’s living legends of dumb entertainment: directors Michael Bay (Bad Boys II) and Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat). It’s unlikely that either of these movies will require any mental effort from their audiences, but it’s also very likely those audiences will be distracted by lots of flashing lights and pretty colors.
Hit the jump to thrill at the site of big CGI robots smashing things and pretty Hollywood actors fightin’ n’ posin’ in expensive period costumes. Transformers: Dark Of The Moon stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, John Malkovich, Tyrese Gibson, Frances McDormand, Ken Jeong, Alan Tudyk, John Turturro, and a bunch of robots. The film opens in 3D on July 1st. The Three Musketeers stars Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Logan Lerman, Orlando Bloom, and Christoph Waltz and will be released in 3D on October 14th.

Antje Traue to Play Female Villain Faora in MAN OF STEEL [Updated]

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 27th, 2011

Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, Man of Steel, may finally be zeroing in on an actress to play the film’s female villain.  There’s been some debate over whether or not the role is Ursa (played by Sarah Douglas in Superman and Superman II), the accomplice of General Zod (played in Man of Steel by Michael Shannon) comic book villain Faora (who was the inspiration for Ursa), or an entirely new character.  Deadline doesn’t have the answer, but they do say that whoever the female villain is, German actress Antje Traue (Pandorum) is the frontrunner for the part.  If she does get the role, she’ll be joining a cast that includes Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, and Kevin Costner.
[Update: Variety reports that Antje has the role and that role is Faora.  Variety also speculates that Man of Steel will use "the version of Faora that debuted in Action Comics #779 as a Pokolistanian aide of General Zod. That character was an orphan metahuman with the ability to disrupt molecular bonds, which allowed her to create a mutagenic virus that served as the linchpin of Zod's plan."]
Man of Steel is set to hit theaters December 2012.

New International Trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 27th, 2011

On the heels of a new domestic trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, Fox has also released an international version that sets a slightly different tone, and has some new footage including a first look at Oliver Platt and Ray Wise.  Again, there’s not of elaboration on the role the Hellfire Club will play, but the point of both trailers is clear: mutants prevented World War III.  Thanks, mutants!  Hit the jump to watch.

Helen Hunt Joins John Hawkes in THE SURROGATE

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 27th, 2011

Academy Award Winner Helen Hunt has joined the cast of the indie drama The Surrogate. Recent Oscar nominee John Hawkes is set to play the role of Mark O’Brien in the film based on a true story. O’Brien was “a paraplegic polio victim who lived most of his life in an iron lung, paralyzed from the neck down.” Hawkes’ character sets out to find a sex surrogate willing to take his virginity, and Variety reports that Hunt will take on the role of his surrogate. Rhea Pearlman also has a role in the film.
Hunt’s character struggles with her own life, coming to terms with explaining her profession to her 12-year-old son. Ben Lewin wrote and will direct the period flick set in the 1980’s. Lewin himself is a polio survivor.

New Trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 27th, 2011

Fox has released a new trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class.  There’s a lot of good new footage and snippets of dialogue in this trailer. I’m still not sure how The Hellfire Club factors into the story, but I liked a lot of what the trailer has to show. We get a better look at the relationship between Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Beast (Nicholas Hoult) and there’s a much darker tone to the relationship between Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) as opposed to previous trailers which seemed to position Magneto more as a tragic figure. Fingers crossed that all these storylines and characters come together in a quality film.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  X-Men: First Class stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Oliver Platt, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Kevin Bacon.  The film opens June 3rd.

First Look at Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in HBO’s GAME CHANGE; Peter MacNicol, Sarah Paulson and More Join Cast

first-look-julianne-moore-sarah-palin-slice
We just had Ron Livingston join the cast of HBO’s political drama film Game Change, but now we have a few new cast members and our first look at another cast member in full wardrobe as a familiar vice presidential candidate. As you can see, that’s Julianne Moore all dressed up as John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin. As for our new cast members, Deadline reports Sarah Paulson (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), Peter MacNicol (24) and Justin Gaston (The Escapee) have joined the cast while THR reports Larry Sullivan (CSI), Jamey Sheridan (Trauma) and Melissa Farman (Temple Grandin) will also star in the film. See the full photo of Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin after the jump along with a brief synopsis of the film and details on our new cast members’ characters.

Ving Rhames to Lead David Gordon Green’s Comedy Central Pilot BLACK JACK

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: April 27th, 2011

We recently learned that Pineapple Express and Your Highness director David Gordon Green would write and direct a new pilot called Black Jack for Comedy Central. At the time, the official order for the pilot was contingent on who would be cast in the lead role, but now Deadline reports Ving Rhames has taken the part and that clause has been lifted. The new comedy series will follow Rhames as the title character who after 20 years as the most kick-ass special ops agent the US government has had on its payroll, finally goes too far and is de-commissioned, forcing him to live his life like the rest of us. This isn’t the first time Rhames has led a television series after his turn as Kojak in the series remake back in 2005. Personally, I like him as a character actor, but in Green’s hand, this new series could turn out to be just fine.

**Justin Long, Jess Weixler, Tyler Labine, and Addison Timlin to Star in LUMPY **Catherine Zeta-Jones to Play Villain in ROCK OF AGES **Trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS **Poster for THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE Starring Dominic Cooper

Justin Long, Jess Weixler, Tyler Labine, and Addison Timlin to Star in LUMPY

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 20th, 2011

Justin Long, Jess Weixler (Teeth), Tyler Labine (Reaper), and Addison Timlin (Californication) will star in the indie LumpyDeadline reports that the story “begins with a wedding in Arizona, where the groom (Long) and bride (Weixler) find their nuptials heightened by their life of the party best man, Lumpy (Labine). That’s until he dies at the end of the evening.” Which I suppose would then make him the death of the party.  Either way, the newlyweds cancel their honeymoon and head to Minneapolis to arrange a funeral, but slowly they discover that perhaps they didn’t know Lumpy as well as they thought.
Michael Landes, Evan Jones, and Shelley Long will co-star in the film, which is the feature directing debut of Ted Koland who also wrote the script.  Filming is currently underway in Minnesota.

Catherine Zeta-Jones to Play Villain in ROCK OF AGES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 20th, 2011

Catherine Zeta-Jones scored an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her work in 2002’s Chicago and now it looks like she’ll be making a return to the musical genre.  THR reports that Zeta-Jones has joined Adam Shankman’s adaptation of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages.  Zeta-Jones will play the film’s villain, a character who isn’t in the Broadway version, but is described by Shankman as “if Tipper Gore and Anita Bryant had a love child. She is this hardcore, moral majority, arch-conservative who wants to shut down rock’n roll in the great city of Los Angeles.”  Shankman says the character was devised as a way to streamline various storylines.
Zeta-Jones, who has been absent from screens the past several years, is a welcome addition to the cast since she can hit the trifecta of acting, singing, and dancing.  She also recently joined Lay the Favorite starring Bruce Willis and Rebecca Hall, as well as the comedy Playing the Field starring Gerard Butler.  Rock of Ages’s cast includes an interesting mix of famous faces (Tom Cruise, Mary J. Blige, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti, Russell Brand) as well as up-and-comers Diego Gonzalez Boneta and Julianne Hough.  Hit the jump for a synopsis of Rock of Ages, which is set to open on June 1, 2012.

Poster for THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE Starring Dominic Cooper UPDATED

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: April 20th, 2011

the-devils-double-movie-poster-slice-01
Lionsgate has released an eye-catching poster for Lee Tamahori’s upcoming action-drama The Devil’s Double.  The film stars Dominic Cooper in the dual roles of Saddam Hussein’s sadistic son Uday and Uday’s body-double Latif Yahia.  The film played at Sundance and speaking to people who saw it, the general consensus seemed to be that it’s fun and excessive in a Scarface kind of way.  Steve caught the film and thought it was great, saying “if you’re a fan of gangster films, excessive violence, and a crazy story that’s never been told on screen, I definitely recommend The Devil’s Double.” I’m looking forward to seeing it when it hits theaters this summer.
Hit the jump to check out the poster, which I like but think it could use more gold.  The Devil’s Double opens July 29th.  Click here for Steve’s interview with Cooper about the film.

Looper Is Most Important Film of My Career Says Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Apr 17, 2011 by B. Alan Orange
Joseph Gordon-Levitt calls Looper most important film of his careerLooper is a sci-fi time travel thriller that finds a group of hit men traveling into the past to kill their victims before they can commit their crimes. We haven't heard much about the movie at this point. Now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, while promoting Inception in Shanghai, has called Looper, perhaps, the most important film of his career.


Here is what Joseph Gordon-Levitt had to say about Looper.




"I feel now, doing 'Looper,' is the result of what happened with 'Inception.' It is something I have been working for my whole life. It is like nothing I have seen before. It has action. It has romance. It also deals with philosophy. I really like it."




Looper comes to theaters in 2011 and stars Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paul Dano, Noah Segan, Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo. The film is directed by Rian Johnson.

**Michael Shannon Cast as General Zod in SUPERMAN Reboot MAN OF STEEL **Teaser Trailer for THE WOMAN IN BLACK Starring Daniel Radcliffe **Third X-Men: First Class International Trailer

Michael Shannon Cast as General Zod in SUPERMAN Reboot MAN OF STEEL

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 10th, 2011

Viggo Mortensen was never able to find the right hole in his schedule to play General Zod in the upcoming Superman reboot, now officially titled Man of Steel.  Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, however, landed on a fantastic alternative: Michael Shannon.  Shannon was rumored for an unspecified villain role last month — the studios have announced today he will play Zod.  Director Zack Snyder remarked,
“Zod is not only one of Superman’s most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don’t.  Michael is a powerful actor who can project both the intelligence and the malice of the character, making him perfect for the role.”
I could not agree more.  Henry Cavill will star as Clark Kent/Superman.  The supporting cast includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent.  Read the official announcement after the jump.



Teaser Trailer for THE WOMAN IN BLACK Starring Daniel Radcliffe

the_woman_in_black_image_daniel_radcliffe_slice
The teaser trailer for the ghost thriller The Woman in Black has gone online. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, the film is based on the classic ghost story by Susan Hill that centers on a young lawyer visiting a remote English town that, naturally, holds many ghostly secrets. The trailer is very much a teaser, and doesn’t really give much of the plot away, but I’m liking the air of creepiness and general unease that it suggests.
Hit the jump to check out the teaser for yourself. The Woman in Black hits theaters in the UK on February 10th, 2012 with a US release date currently unknown.

R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor (1932 – 2011)
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 23rd, 2011
elizabeth-taylor-slice-01


Actress Elizabeth Taylor has passed away at the age of 79. ABC News has confirmed that Taylor died of congestive heart failure this morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.


Taylor’s career in Hollywood spanned five decades. She was nominated for five Oscars and she took home the award for Best Actress for her riveting performances in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and BUtterfield 8. While she retired from acting in 2001, she was one of Hollywood’s greatest legends and one of the most in-demand stars of the 1950s and 60s. In 1985, she devoted herself to fund-raising and activism against AIDS and the family asks that in lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Our deepest condolences go out to Ms. Taylor’s friends and family. Hit the jump for a statement from her son Michael Wilding.


Taylor’s son Michael Wilding released an official statement:
“My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love.  Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world. Her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a businesswoman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS, all make us all incredibly proud of what she accomplished. We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts.”

Will Sasso Joins THE THREE STOOGES Casting Race
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 23rd, 2011
Add Will Sasso ($#*! My Dad Says) to the list of potential actors who may be leading the Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges. THR reports that Sasso is a “likely frontrunner to play Moe, Larry or Curly”. While I don’t doubt that Sasso has the comic range to play any of the Stooges, I think we can all agree that he would probably play Curly if he was cast in the film.


I’ve been a fan of Sasso’s ever since I saw him on MADtv back in the 90s and I’d be happy to see him land such a major role. After the jump, you can check out Sasso in one of my favorite MADtv sketches, “Paul Timberman’s Workshop”.

Bill Nighy and Danny Huston Join CLASH OF THE TITANS Sequel; Full Synopsis Revealed
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 23rd, 2011
Production has begun on Jonathan Liebesman’s untitled sequel to Clash of the Titans. Warner Bros. has sent out a press release confirming the film’s cast. Returning actors Sam Worthington (Perseus), Liam Neeson (Zeus), Ralph Fiennes (Hades), and Danny Huston (seen in the first film for half-a-second as Poseidon), will be joined by Edgar Ramirez (Ares), Toby Kebbell (Argenor, Posiedon’s demigod son), Rosamund Pike (Andromeda), and Bill Nighy (Hephaestus). It’s worth noting that Gemma Arterton, who was rumored to return as Io, isn’t mentioned in the press release.


Warner Bros. has also sent out a full synopsis for the sequel. The story takes place 10 years after the first film with Perseus attempting to lead a quiet life. But he’s called back into action in order to rescue Zeus after the god is captured by Ares and Hades in a deal to unleash the titans. The plot clearly has a major role set up for Kronos, the leader of the titans, but no actor has been linked to the role at this point.


Hit the jump for the full press release and synopsis. Clash of the Titans 2 is set to be released in post-converted 3D (ugh) on March 30, 2012.

Trailer for Yet another Terrible-Looking 50 Cent Movie, SETUP, Co-Starring Bruce Willis
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 23rd, 2011
A couple weeks ago, we showed you the hilariously-awful trailer for Things Fall Apart starring Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. While some rappers have shown they can excel at music and acting, 50 Cent is not one of those rappers. Any on-stage charisma he has vanishes when he’s on camera, and his gigantic teeth seem to get in the way of him intelligibly delivering dialogue.


But if you saw the trailer for Things Fall Apart and were left thinking, “Man, I wish there was more where that came from,” then you’re in luck. The trailer for future direct-to-DVD movie Setup has gone online and it will leave you wondering, “Seriously, Bruce Willis? You’re in this? Did you forget you’re an A-Lister?” I can understand when Val Kilmer co-stars with 50 Cent in Gun, but this just baffles me to pieces.


Hit the jump to see Willis making a toast to “crime” and informing a hapless thug that “God has left Detroit.”

'X-Men: First Class': Time Crunch!

'X-Men: First Class': Time Crunch!
Check out this shot from the set of X-Men: First Class from the L.A. Times!
The film, out June 3, stars Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, and Jason Flemyng as Azazel.
Also starring are Lucas Till as Havok, Zoe Kravitz as Angel, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier.
The Times reports that the cast is still at work finishing the film before it hits theaters this summer!
“I’ve never worked under such time pressure,” director Matthew Vaughn said. “The good thing about the independent world is I never even knew if I was going to get distribution. I’m used to finishing a film and then crossing your fingers that someone is going to like it. This is totally doing it the other way around. We’ve definitely got a release date and we’ve got to make it.”

***First Teaser Poster for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS ***Mia Wasikowska Tries to Fit Both STOKER and THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD on Her Schedule

First Teaser Poster for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 19th, 2011

We’ve been awaiting our first look at X-Men: First Class, and 20th Century Fox has delivered over the past couple days with a flurry of images.  The first (and very photoshopped) cast image left some underwhelmed, but we’ve since updated that post with a few stills of the cast on set that I think lend a better context to the look of the film.
To cap things off (or could there be more?), Fox has released a teaser poster for the superhero film starring Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Dr. Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Lucas Till as Havoc, Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Professor X.   Check it out after the jump.
The design is very basic, to the point that I’m surprised we didn’t see this before the stills.  It’s sharp, though.  I like it.
X-Men: First Class opens on June 3.  Click here for all our coverage on the film.  Via AICN:



Mia Wasikowska Tries to Fit Both STOKER and THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD on Her Schedule

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 19th, 2011

Mia Wasikowska had a great 2010 as the star of the years second highest grosser (Alice in Wonderland) and the top limited release (The Kids Are All Right).  It follows that she’s in for a busy 2011.  According to Variety, Wasikowska is currently circling two projects: Stoker and The Wettest County in the World.
The Australian actress could ostensibly do both films, though negotiations are on hold while her camp tries to work out a schedule with the studios.  Both projects would link her to some interesting talent — Carey Mulligan and Jodie Foster in Stoker, Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy in The Wettest County — so I hope Wasikowska figures out a way to sign on to at least one.  Hit the jump for more info on both films.
Stoker was scripted by actor Wentworth Miller, and landed on the 2010 Black List of Hollywood’s best unproduced screenplays.  Oldboy director Park Chan-wook is in talks to make this his English-language debut.  The logline tags Stoker as “the story of an eccentric teen whose enigmatic and estranged uncle who returns to the family after the death of the girl’s father.”  The estranged uncle is reportedly a very meaty role, though it has not been cast as of this writing.

LaBeouf and Hardy are poised to star as Prohibition-era bootleggers in The Wettest County in the World, an adaptation of a novel by Matt Bondurant.  This is a passion project for John Hillcoat (The Road), who will direct from a script by Nick Cave (The Proposition).  The book’s synopsis:
The Bondurant Boys were a notorious gang of roughnecks and moonshiners who ran liquor through Franklin County, Virginia, during Prohibition and in the years after. Forrest, the eldest brother, is fierce, mythically indestructible, and the consummate businessman; Howard, the middle brother, is an ox of a man besieged by the horrors he witnessed in the Great War; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste for luxury and a dream to get out of Franklin. Driven and haunted, these men forge a business, fall in love, and struggle to stay afloat as they watch their family die, their father’s business fail, and the world they know crumble beneath the Depression and drought.
White mule, white lightning, firewater, popskull, wild cat, stump whiskey, or rotgut — whatever you called it, Franklin County was awash in moonshine in the 1920s. When Sherwood Anderson, the journalist and author of Winesburg, Ohio, was covering a story there, he christened it the “wettest county in the world.” In the twilight of his career, Anderson finds himself driving along dusty red roads trying to find the Bondurant brothers, piece together the clues linking them to “The Great Franklin County Moonshine Conspiracy,” and break open the silence that shrouds Franklin County.

Wasikowska will next be seen in Jane Eyre, which opens March 11.

***Entertainment Tonight Visits the Set of SHERLOCK HOLMES 2 ***First Look at the Cast of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Entertainment Tonight Visits the Set of SHERLOCK HOLMES 2

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 18th, 2011

With filming on Sherlock Holmes 2 currently underway, the production is opening up the set to various outlets.  Last week, we reported that Hero Complex had seen some filming of a set piece and now Entertainment Tonight is getting to see what director Guy Ritchie and company have in store for the sequel.  For those who want to avoid spoilers on what ET saw, I’ll simply say that Holmes is having even more fun with disguises in the sequel and that his dress-up accompanies what could be a thrilling action scene.  We also get a brief look at new cast member Noomi Rapace in action.
Hit the jump to check out ET’s set vision.  Sherlock Holmes 2 stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Jared Harris.  It’s set to open on December 16th.

First Look at the Cast of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 18th, 2011

x-men-first-class-cast-image-slice-01
The first image of the cast of X-Men: First Class has been released.  Because of the horrible photo-shopping job, my first instinct was that the image was faked.  But the image comes from MSN [who have now taken down the page] so I’ll assume it’s legit. The film is set in the 1960s (although you couldn’t tell it from these costumes) when apparently light bulbs were in short supply.
From left to right, you can see Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, either Lucas Till as Havoc or Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee (it’s difficult to see!), a young female actress who I don’t recognize, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Professor X.  Cast members not pictured include Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, Edi Gathegi, and Zoe Kravitz.  Hit the jump for a synopsis of the film.  X-Men: First Class is due out June 3rd.
Here’s the official synopsis for X-Men: First Class:
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
